    Take it to the dealer or go to your local auto parts store and have them scan the codes for you.

    Straight to the dealer. Dont screw around with Autozone or any other mechanic. This is a 3 day old truck. I'm not sure why you aren't banging down their down as we speak.

    At the *VERY LEAST* you want to get this documented officially at the dealership. That way you start your paper trail.

    It could be something simple like they forgot to put a fuse in or something needs to be tightened or it could be some looming catastrophic engine malfunction.

    as long as it's not flashing, it's not necessarily a crucial issue. I said take it to get scanned assuming the dealership was closed Sunday and today for the holiday. Obviously you want to take the truck in. It's under base warranty and will be diagnosed and repaired for free

    I would make sure to take it first thing tomorrow. If it starts flashing stop driving it immediately and have it towed in. Flashing CEL = bad news bears/stop driving immediately.

    Is it brand new or just new to you?..........How many miles?

    It could just be the maintenance light at 5,000 miles which is normal.

    I'd probably just put a piece of tape over the check engine light. Out of sight out of mind.
    Sorry but I couldn't find the sarcasm font. That being said if you need to drive your truck then yes go to the auto parts store but if it can wait go to the dealer tomorrow.
